[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaSingSe:
I had a GT-I9300 before and I used GalaxSim Unlocker to unlock it. It worked before.

This is my 2nd GT-I9300, but it is Made in China, not like the one before which was Made in Korea. With this one, GalaxSim Unlocker failed to unlock the phone.

I tried this program with 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. Both say that the phone is unlocked and the program did not even run its full course. When I go back to the old ALE8 ROM, this time the program did not see any IMEI number.

I also tried to use the phone service menu. I can get into the service menu, but there is nothing inside the "network lock". It says the menu does not exist.

Is the China made phone very different from the Korea made phone? I'm just curious. I've already returned the phone to the original owner.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
What ROM did it come with? If it had EFS v2, there is no way to unlock it without buying an "unlock code". Galaxsim doesn't work on ROMs released since July. No apps do.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yurinaka:
A Unicom customized phone?

I don't think that one has the network lock.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaSingSe:
I've returned the phone, so I would not know about the EFS. The one I unlocked before was a UK O2 phone. But I do not know much about the 2nd one, just that it was made in China, not Korea.

So if GalaxSim Unlocker and phone service manual both do not work, the only way is to buy an unlock code? It appears some people are using some cables to unlock some phones.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yurinaka:
Well, if it is sold to China, there is no network lock. So GalaxSim Unlocker is unnecessary. Do you know which country it is sold to?

Just backup the phone's EFS.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Do you have any evidence of the above re cable unlock ???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaSingSe:
That phone was clearly locked. From the very beginning, I put in a T-Mobile SIM and the phone asked me for unlock code. After one or two day tries, I gave up. To the end, after the stock ROM restore, it still asked me for unlock code.

I do not know the history of that phone. So I do not know what country that phone was originally distributed to.
[Moto X Q&A] anirudh412:
Now that the awesome Moto X is available on T Mobile, I plan to buy one and get it unlocked to use internationally. However, I would like to know if there is any way I could pick one up from a brick and mortar TMo store or the only option I have is to order online and have it shipped to me?
[Moto X Q&A] meant2live218:
I believe you can pick up the non-Moto Maker one at a corporate store (if they're anything like Verizon), but if you want Moto Maker, you have to get it shipped to you. The non-Moto Maker only comes in either Black front, Black weave back or White front, White weave back. If you want any of the customization you have to get it shipped to you.
[Moto X Q&A] anirudh412:
Yeah, dont really care about the moto maker stuff (even though its really cool). I much prefer having a base black to which I can add skins, so that I can peel them away when I get bored.

Can someone confirm if Moto Xs are available in T-Mo stores?
[Moto X Q&A] linuxgator:
Why not just call your local store and ask.
[Moto X Q&A] EternalAndroid:
No, unfortunately T-Mobile is the only carrier that isn't carrying the Moto X in store.
[Moto X Q&A] anirudh412:
Out of country right now
[Moto X Q&A] sleepyguy007:
they aren't carrying them in store.

i don tthink t-mobile really is "selling" this phone per se. like they sell the nexus 5 in store. but this phone is more like. well you can get sim cards at t-mobile and it will support the bands and thats it.

as far as t-mobile corporate cares this phone is probaby the same as you buying a european or asian market GSM phone.

when i go into "my tmobile" it cant even detect what phone it is, as they dont even have the IMEI list just like any foreign phone.
[Moto X Q&A] anirudh412:
Which stores (apart from TMo) carry them? Just looking to get a black one
[Moto X Q&A] kirdroid:
You can get it from ATT local store which is also gsm carrier and then get it unlocked to use it abroad. Also it will have the ugly carrier logo on the back of the device.
[Moto X Q&A] anirudh412:
How do I get it unlocked? There are people on local craigslist selling their AT&T phones for around 380. Can I buy that and use an unlock service? Has any one tried one before?

As far as the carrier logo goes, I plan to use a skin anyway. The only thing I would be sacrificing would be the locked BL.

TIA
[Moto X Q&A] sleepyguy007:
Lots of places online sell unlock codes so that is fine.

Carrier logo can rub off with rubbing alcohol. Friend of mine did it and looks perfect

Tmobile version is Sim unlock .
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] cortez:
Hi there,

im new here coz i have mda(pda) for week only (i had MPx200 before). I wanna to upload other ROM (probably K-Jam one) but i dont have backup for this original ROM and if anything goes wrong so i can broke my warranty so i need this original ROM (if anyone have it). I cant find it at FTP.

Thanx for answer.

EDIT: or how to backup my original ROM ... i cant figure it out ... i surfed forum, im using the search so dont kill me :)

EDIT2 >> so i did the romupdate dump also i can upload it to FTP but it has size of 512MB (sd card size) and thats impossible to me ... so exist any solution to short this file? THANK YOU
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Android Development] CoolDevelopment:
Hello XDA,

I created a simple backup-script for the efs-partition of the GT-I9082

Instructions

1. Download the .zip file

2. Extract it

3. Open terminal and "cd" to the directory, where you extracted it.

4. type

./efs_backup.sh

if you got "rm failed for /sdcard/efs_tmp.img, No such file or directory", just ignore it

5. You can now find a file named "efs_backup_cwm.zip", you can flash it with cwm to restore your efs-partition

Why should I do that?

That's a simple question: Every Rom you flash and every root-app you use could have a simple bug and override/delete your efs-partition

What is the efs-partition?

It's a partition, wich is needed for any device-specific number like IMEI, Wlan-MAC-adress and so on. If it gets deleted/damaged, your mobile

will nothing more than a Mp3-player, unless you can flash back your old efs-partition.

Can you release it for Windows?

No, because I think every android-user should have linux installed on their pc and it doesn't cost anything. I have a dual-boot, too. If you want it on Windows, feel free to port it, it

won't be hard. If you want to install linux, I suggest you a debian-based distribution, because there will be the best support for android.

I WILL NOT ANSWER TO STUPID QUESTIONS!

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE ON YOUR DEVICE!

[HTC One X] shantusingh:
I recently got imported DG h200 . Perfectly configured and got updated then, everything what it can play is smooth and good .

But like if I want to watch a show like of 10-20 mins, etc on YouTube app, it does plays.. but like wifi disconnects for a micro second( or I could be wrong that this doesn't happens) and the video pauses and stops and even waiting for a minute nothing happens and on screen the video goes back to the first image where the video started.

But in phone the bar is there where the video stopped( like on 4 mins 10 secs or whatever) and media link still keeps on working fine (just the display but isn't playing the video), but just the video stops and to resume I need to click a little ahead or back at the bar and then the video buffers and starts from around where it stopped . I don't want this to happen please as this issue shouldn't be there .

I have done the 5-7 seconds hold reset and reconfigure but still the same.

I don't even get the message that my wifi reception is weak or anything on this (I get that separately sometimes) . But the issue is happening when I am even near my wifi .

I feel its something with the phone dropping the signal as if taking little more juice or if its issue with 4.2.2 stock, but the thing is media link gives no issue as it keeps working on phone and t.v .

I even uninstall latest updates of YouTube and the prob still was there . Even tried with removing wifi optimization option and removed power saver, etc options but still the same . Sleep mode off gave a little progress and made a video played continuously for 10 mins but it stopped again :(

Please someone help .

Is there any way to convert USA variant to EU variant.

I've tried to flash radio from EU variant, but no success.

Any chance to change LTE band?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
You would have to change the motherboard and the radio chip. Realy not worth the money it will cost and the work it takes to do it. Buy one in Europe bro and enjoy the phone.

Bought this on ebay for almost $15 here's a link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...6568&ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:US:3160#shpCntId

Hoping it'll be a good deal case looks decent. It looks like it'll protect my note 3 well. To bad I've dropped it once :-\ and have to wait till Friday to get the case. Just got it and few marks on the silver parts, silly me for leaving the phone on my pants and leaving car. The phone hit the cement :'(. Ah well you live and learn first time any real damage to any of my phones. I baby them :) and usually have a case on them really quick for this exact reason.

Anyways I might make a video review or just post pictures of it all with the final review of it. Should be a decent deal or so I hope. I'm more looking forward to the case, belt holster, screen protector, fishbone cord winder, and the headphone splitter though the last two will probably useless. Rest of the stuffs just bonus i guess will be useless but still nice free bee's, like the headphones I'm sure they're crap but i always end up washing all the ones i buy anyway.

Here's a list of included things:

1 x Belt Clip Holster Case Cover For Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9000

1 x Screen Protector

1 x Microfiber Cloth

1 x Application Card

1 x Black Stylus Pen

1 x USB Cable.

1 x Car Charger (Micro USB,only use for battery charging ,can not data transfer )

1 x Earphone

1 x Earphone splitter cable (1 in 2 out).

2 x Ear Caps.

1 x Fishbone Shape Earphone Cord Winder

Wish me luck and Hopefully you find this info useful :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
Looks like a bunch of junk except for the case, but I hope it works out well for you. Let us know how it goes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] spriteboost:
Yea i figure everything but the belt clip and case will be pretty much junk but for almost $15 extra crap can't hurt ($15 case for this phone that is lolz samsung ones seem so expensive 30-60$ range). I'm sure everyone else has the other crap lying around collecting dust. Which will probably happen for me to only things I can see I'll most likely use is the splitter the headphones and possibly the pen if it feels better than the s-pen. Seeing it might be a little bit bigger and more comfortable in the hand possibly.

First off, this does not belong in development

Second, this is not a bounty.

A bounty is posted by a trusted member for a significant development achievement

A bounty also has a running total of pledges in the OP

Moved to General. I do not believe asking for a ROM which will definitely come sooner or later is a good subject for a bounty

But I will not close this yet

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] d12unk13astard:
^this

Devs will bring a 4.4 rom when ready, sounds like somebody should have gotten the n5 instead.

I know some of you will say "but it's okay to ask and hope this will hurry up development". I see it as a slap to devs faces like their not already trying or busy enough with their lives.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
No harm in asking I guess but just think if you want a good rom, a good rom dev will always wait a little while untill all the issues and little bugs are found exposed and worked out before releasing their own. You dont want to put a rom out there and have a thousand pages of my airview is not working, my wifi calling caller id is not working, my d% $ k is not working, you get the point. And issues there always is when a new release hits. So with that being said 4.3 is still pretty fresh for us anyway and lets enjoy it a bit before we jump into that delicious candy bar ? everyone is itching to eat so bad. Cant say I wouldnt flash it if there was one tho☻. Just sayin

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] h3ck:
Offering $20 to a hard working developer for a ROM is insulting in my book. That's just my humble opinion. Plus it doesn't seem there was more to contribute than asking for something. :( I'm not one to get on people, but I'm not a developer and I was annoyed that someone is offering $20 for hours of work (not too mention they are doing it for free anyway). Are you going to give $20 to every 4.4 Kit Kat ROM? My gut tells me no.

I think this thread should be closed.

So I have a Verizon LG G2. Today I wanted to try out the CM 10.2 nightly, so I download it and factory reset my phone via TWRP, followed by installing the CM10.2 nightly rom along with the gapps. Apparently something fails in the process, and now when I try to boot my phone, I see a fastboot mode log. I can no longer enter recovery mode, and I can no longer enter download mode. Attempting recovery mode will cause my phone to reboot. Attempting to enter download mode puts my phone in a Firmware Update screen where the progress bar stays locked at 0%.

I've tried downloading every LG application and flashing the stock .kdz files but it fails in each application for some reason or other (no clear error message).

What are some steps I can take to proceed in trying to fix my phone?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -JFK-:
Hello,

Turn OFF your phone.

Start it by pressing vol- + power

When LG logo appear release both and re-press both.

You will have a white screen that say factory reset.

Press power and one more time power.

Recovery will start.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redxv:
I tried this but after I confirm the factory reset, my screen just goes blank. When I reboot my phone later, I'm back at where I started earlier: at the fastboot mode started log.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coowkeee:
Try going back to stock rom. But in able to enter in recovery mode without rebooting. First, you need to press volume - + and power button, when the phone turns off, quickly press again the volume UP key and plug the cable in. You need to be very fast because it will reboot fast.

I've tried every way to enter recovery mode. It just leads to another reboot. And I know I'm doing this very very quickly, and its still not working. And I've also tried to use the LG support tool. It recognizes my phone as up to date. When I try to run upgrade recovery, it'll download a 2GB file and when it is supposedly copying it to the phone, nothing happens. and the progress bar finishes in like 8 seconds (way too fast to actually transfer 2GB). Then it says complete, when in reality nothing on my phone changed.

I think the part that surprises me is the model. D802 is the code for the UK LG G2. Does my phone think it's a UK LG G2? I was trying to install the CM10.2 ROM for the D802 when this happened.
